Address:Â 307 River Rd, Nyack
Description: Overlooking the beautiful Hudson River, this restored Victorian farmhouse is quite a stunner in Rockland County. The owner, an interior designer by trade, renovated the entire property in 1988. Painted in moss and woody shades of green, the original clapboard exterior of the home was restored. In addition, the trelliswork on the front porch was restored to preserve the traditional history of architecture in Victorian homes.Â
While walking up the beautiful front porch staircase, notice the fish-scale shingles (added in the renovation process). With attention to detail, the front porch is a mastery of old and new. Residents can spend their days relaxing outside on the spacious front porch. Of course, they enjoy stunning Hudson River views and a peaceful neighborhood atmosphere.
When winter hits and snow falls outside, stay warm next to the two wood-burning fireplaces within the Rockland farmhouse. In addition, grab a cup of hot chocolate or tea and head to one of the large windows throughout the home to capture the beautiful view of the Hudson River. With an inviting and cozy vibe, this home is perfect for relaxing and entertaining.Â
The 2,296 sq ft Green House is a single family home that allows for a spacious and comfortable living style. The house sits on .65 acres of land and offers access to a nature trail right outside the backdoor. Within the home, residents will find four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The home is in the South Orangetown Central School District, which offers two different elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school.
Stepping inside the front door, residents are met by an elegant staircase and original cherry hardwood floors. With a living room, dining room, study, and kitchen on the first floor, this Rockland farmhouse allows residents to invite guests over for a memorable night.Â
The French country kitchen is filled with natural light and features a sub-zero refrigerator. With white cabinets and appliances, the kitchen feels bright and spacious. The kitchen also offers a Miele dishwasher and oven, Bertazzoni cooktop, laundry room, and half bath. With large windows throughout the kitchen, the beauty of the natural landscape allures home chefs.Â
Moving upstairs, the bedrooms retain many of their original architectural features. Each bedroom offers its own unique aspect such as green hardwood floors, large windows, a slanted wood paneled roof, and detailed crown molding. The third floor brings in great natural light and is a perfect space for an at home office or a storage room.Â
In addition to the home’s beauty and original history, the location offers convenient access to New York City. The house is also a short distance away from several natural destinations. Enjoy strolls at Tallman Mountain Park, Piermont Pier, the Nyack Boat Club, and Hook Mountain State Park. Â
